New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {120}

For New Shelf Goodies, I'll be showing you what lovely books I acquired this week, whether from publishers, or the library, or from whatever half-crazed book-buying binge I happened to go on. :D (Inspired by Tynga's Stacking the Shelves) The Weekly Nutshell will be just that...my week here at Stories & Sweeties, in a nutshell. (inspired by Ginger @ GReads and her recaps at the end of the TGIF posts)

Here's the fun stuff that landed on my doorstep this week! :)

 A lovely package from Bloomsbury!

Women Who Broke the Rules:  Sacajawea & Judy Blume by Kathleen Krull

How fantastic are these!  

The Last Good Day of the Year by Jessica Warman

This cover gives me chills and  the story sounds intense!   

Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan

This looks like it's going to be a tearjerker. Hopefully a good one, though!  

The Weekly Nutshell: 
 {Monday} Cover feature! Winter & Beastly Bones
 {Tuesday} Waiting on Wednesday - The Many Lives of John Stone
{Thursday} Review: The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

This week I read Burning Kingdoms and, while I planned to read Miss Mayhem next, I found myself drawn to picking up Beastkeeper, so that's what I'm reading now. :) Then there are two books I have to read on a deadline, so most likely those are up next. I'm excited for both though, so that's good! But *sigh* someday soon I'll get to Miss Mayhem!  Beastkeeper has a very good fairy tale vibe though, and I'm enjoying it so far. 

Not much else going on this week, except that my car has died on me. UGH :(  A month before I was planning to get a new one. Double-UGH.  It's going to be an interesting next few weeks.

Have a great week, everyone!
